#Walrus As we move through January 2026, the conversation around decentralized storage has shifted from "where can I put my files?" to "how can I use my data?" Walrus Protocol (@walrusprotocol) is providing the answer by moving beyond passive storage into the era of programmable blob management.
The sheer scale of what $WAL is enabling this month is staggering. While many storage protocols struggle with the "bloat" of massive datasets, Walrus’s architecture—built on the Sui blockchain—is proving that it can handle the world’s most sensitive and voluminous data with ease.
The Humanity Protocol Milestone: 10 Million and Counting
On January 8, 2026, Humanity Protocol officially migrated its identity network to Walrus. This isn't just a small pilot; it involves over 10 million user credentials already stored on-chain.
The Goal: Scaling to 100 million unique identities by the end of 2026.
The Technical Edge: By using the Seal protocol, Walrus provides a secure layer for these credentials. Users maintain full ownership of their ID, while applications can verify their "humanity" without ever seeing the raw private
